Blurb

A sporting legend. A brutal death. A dark legacy.

DS Lucas Walker is back home in Queensland, following the dramatic fallout from his last case. He is just getting to grips with his new role in the small outback town of Katima, when the body of an unknown young man is found hanging from a tree in the park.

What at first looks like a tragic suicide soon has Walker’s detective instincts on alert, and he and his young partner throw themselves into the case, discovering a connection with an unsolved death.

And then a brutal murder changes everything. The victim is Caden Conroy, national cricketing hero, and the dark nature of his death leads to an unparalleled media frenzy.

When Walker is sidelined by Brisbane Homicide after being first on the scene, he must go his own way to unpick the deceit and corruption at the heart of these cases. Only then will he know if they are connected, and how, but at what cost?

Still reeling from Berlin, and with his own family in freefall, DS Lucas Walker faces one of his toughest cases yet in the fifth instalment of this gripping, bestselling Aussie Noir series, perfect for fans of Jane Harper, Cara Hunter and Chris Hammer.

About the Author

Patricia Wolf has been a journalist for more than fifteen years, contributing regularly to publications including The Guardian, Financial Times, The Independent and The Telegraph.

She grew up in outback Australia, in the mining town of Mount Isa in far north-west Queensland, a place eagle-eyed readers may recognise from a subtle reference in her debut novel, Outback.

Patricia has a deep love for the rugged beauty, indigo skies and vast horizons of the outback. After university, she left Australia to travel the world and pursue her career in journalism. She now lives in Berlin, Germany, though the pull of the outback has never left her.

In 2019, just before the Covid pandemic, Patricia returned to northwest Queensland, spending two months in the region, including a four-week road trip. It was during this time, surrounded by the raw beauty and harsh landscape, that DI Lucas Walker and his stories began to take shape.
